The research is focused on assessing the feasibility of corn cultivation. This research was conducted through a survey using a simple random sampling method involving 47 farmers. The survey was conducted in October 2020, and primary and secondary data were collected. Primary data included details about the respondents, characteristics of corn farming, and input-output data was taken from the third Planting Season (July-September 2020). Secondary data was sourced from relevant agencies associated with the research. Descriptive analysis was used to assess the data on the respondents and farming characteristics, while financial analysis was applied to the input-output data to evaluate the viability of the farm and determine the breakeven point for production and price. The results showed: a) corn productivity at 7,200 t/ha grain yield, b) R/C ratio of 1.58, d) BEP price at IDR 3,130/kg, and BEP production at 4,453 kg/ha. As per the criteria of >1, the research concludes that corn farming is economically viable in this case.
